Rider Levett Bucknall cuts network latency by 80-90% with Alibaba Cloud

Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB), a leading quantity surveying consultancy firm, sought to digitally transform its operations and expand in the Greater Bay Area and Mainland China. Its traditional network infrastructure, characterized by high costs and complexity, was inadequate for adopting cloud applications. To address this, RLB partnered with vendor Alibaba Cloud for a secure and agile SD-WAN with cloud on-ramp solution.

Alibaba Cloud, in collaboration with Fortinet, implemented a high-performance SD-WAN network using FortiGate on Alibaba Cloud's global infrastructure, utilizing the Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN). This solution streamlined the company's connectivity across Asia. The vendor's work reduced RLB's network operation costs by 50% and decreased overall network latency by 80-90%, enhancing productivity for over 1,500 staff and providing a foundation for RLB's ongoing digital transformation.
